Oats Mutter Dosa

This instant dosa batter is packed with protein and fibre. Oats must be consumed daily for its high content of soluble fibre 'beta-glucan', a potent blood sugar and cholesterol-lowering agent. The addition of urad dal and carrots make the dosas rich in protein and vitamin a too. Prepare this instantly and serve it hot with a chutney of your choice.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Makes 8 dosas

Ingredients

For The Dosa Batter
1 cup quick cooking rolled oats
1/4 cup urad dal (split black lentils)
salt to taste

For The Stuffing
1 1/2 tsp oil
1/4 tsp mustard seeds ( rai / sarson)
1 slit green chilli
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1/2 cup grated carrot
1/4 cup parboiled green peas
salt to taste
1/2 tsp chaat masala
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp lemon juice

Other Ingredients
2 1/4 tsp oil for greasing and cooking

Method
For the dosa batter

1. Combine the oats, urad dal and salt in a bowl and blend in a mixer to a fine powder.
2. Add1¾ cups of water and mix well to make a batter of pouring consistency. Cover and keep aside for 10 to 15 minutes.

For the stuffing

1. Heat the oil in a broad non-stick pan and add the mustard seeds and green chilli.
2. When the seeds crackle, add the onions and sauté on a slow flame for 2 to 3 minutes, till the onions turn translucent.
3. Add the carrots and green peas, mix well and sauté on a medium flame for another 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Add the salt, chaat masala and chilli powder, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 1 to 2 more minutes.
5. Add the lemon juice, mix well and cook on a medium flame for another minute.
6. Divide the stuffing into 8 equal portions and keep aside.

How to proceed

1. Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and grease it using ¼ tsp of oil.
2. Pour a spoonful of the batter on the tava (griddle) and move the spoon in a circular motion to make a 175 mm. (7") round dosa.
3. Smear ¼ tsp of oil around the edges and cook on a medium flame till the dosa turns light brown in colour.
4. Place a portion of the stuffing in the centre of the dosa and fold over.
5. Repeat with the remaining batter and stuffing to make 7 more dosas.
6. Serve immediately with a chutney of your choice.

Handy tip

1. Do not keep the batter for too long as it becomes thicker making it difficult to spread.

Not sure the chef has a working understanding of diabetics. Oats and carrots and 'less oil because it is for diabetics' - does not make sense. Diabetics would do better with higher fat foods and lower carbs.

[TarlaDalalsKitchen]

Yes its is true that diabetics should consume low carbohydrate foods and hence the regular aloo stuffing has been replaced with high fibre carrots and green peas. rice based dosas are also on the restricted list for diabetics. hence we have made the dosa batter using oats which are rich in fibre and helps in controlling blood sugar levels, hence are considered to be good for diabetics. too much oil is also not recommended for diabetics as excessive weight gain has a tendency to worsen diabetes.

"Fibre" is the European spelling. Technically, it is spelled right.

[roadrunner831]

great recipe! i've never made dosas at home but i'd like to try this one, looks healthy and delicious! i have an inexpensive and not very powerful blender,  does making the batter correctly require a heavy-duty mixie?
